What is the New Metric Builder?

The New Metric Builder is a powerful new way to build metrics. It allows you to quickly get insights, navigate your data. Then if you have Dashboard Filters to slice and dice your metrics at the same time from the dashboard.

You can see if you are using the New Metric Builder by editing an existing metric or start creating a new one and clicking on the Chart tab in the top middle and then looking at the New Metric Beta section at the bottom left. If the “Use New Metric Builder” box is checked, then you are using the New Metric Builder.

What is the benefit from using the New Metric Builder?

The New Metric Builder makes it possible to build a dynamic metric where you can slice and filter the data to look at it in different ways to gain insights.

Some dashboards work well as a static display where you can see your progress towards a goal, but the more powerful insights come when you can dig into a chart and find what’s working well and how you are trending compared to other time periods. That is hard to do, for example, when you are only looking at total daily sales month to date. With the New Metric Builder, you can change the date range to go further back and group it by month. You can even filter to show the sales for a specific sales region, rep, or product.
